FNaF theory
10 years ago
General
So I'm quite the fan of the Five Nights at Freddy's theory/lore/etc things. The games are okay, they're scary at first, or they make you jump at first, then you get used to the triggers and boom your fine etc. etc. ANYWAY, recently while talking to people about various aspects of the ending of the third game I came up with my own fey theory, and I wanted to write it down here so that a) I remember my own theory :D and B) I can come back to it if I was right/wrong and be like woot :D or Hmm well in that case~ So anyways In summary MY theory follows as such, and I'm going to try and keep it kind of streamlined on here. Spoilers for those who haven't watched through all the various games and bits~ ^^
Instead of their being a singular killer, I believe that there were two, or at the very least a murderer and an accomplice, mainly: Purple guy and phone guy.
-For the sake of keeping the theory short on here, at the end of FNaF3 you see the ghosts spook purple guy into the springtrap golden bonnie suit and he get's killed by the trigger mechanisms. And the purple guy is seen in video sections of no.2 killing children etc. So we know for a fact that he is the one in the springtrap suit, eliminating the possibility of him being the phone guy
-Phone guy on the other hand we know is somebody who works at freddy's and has done for a while, and the suits all seem to hate him which Is simply explainable via: training tapes. In every game, the animatronics attack you, when you have the phone guys voice playing training tapes for you, in no.1 you've started working following his death, in which the suits can be heard banging and bashing at the doors aggresively as if they know he is about to get of the nightshift. They want him dead before he can get away with it all, they NEED him to pay for what he has done, and so they cram him into the Golden freddy suit! in FNaF2 as well you have training tapes, and the suits are aggressive, it's as if the suits are mistaking YOU for phone guy and are wanting to get their revenge on someone they assume is the phone guy by the training tapes left for you!
-The above statement also rings some truth in FNaF3, because simply: Springtap? is WEIRD. He runs about the place all the time, you never see him unless he is running or looking into your room, and even his kill animation is weird. In all the other games, the animatronics make aggresive/lunging/etc motions towards you. Springrap? He looks in at you, he watches you and when he kills you? He leans forwards slowly and stares at you, as if confused at the fact that your face doesn't match the voice of his accomplice, the one who got away with it and left him sealed up in that room for all that time! the training tapes, those make him angry, they make him want to get at phone guy, and when he sees that it's not him? he simply kills you out of anger for it!.
Again, I repeat that this is a very narrow and short winded version of my theory, and I probably missed out twenty key points that I meant to include of thought of when this originally popped into my head, but...yeah...this is what I currently think, make of it what you will ^^

FA+

Also, the animatronics keep attacking you even after night 4, when phone Guy dies. And why would they hate the phone Guy?
As for attacking after night 4 at that point they'd possibly/probably already associated him as the phone guy simply because of all the other tapes. When you think about it, what source does phone guy have to go on about being stuffed inside of a fasbear suit other then what happened with springtrap? We hear and see nothing about it, so it's more like he's nervous they're going to do it to him in revenge.
